PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 324,607, dated August 18, 1835.

Application filed April "29, 1885. (No model) To (ZZZ whom it may concern: mold-board is supported by an arm, t, rigid Be it known that I, J A0013 STOLL, of Milthereto on the under or in side, which arm at waukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State its inner end is pivoted on the rear end of the of \Visconsin, have invented new and useful landside d. The mold-board and share,bei1 1g Improvements in Flows; and I do hereby derigid to each other and being pivoted to the clare the following to be a full, clear, and landside at the front and rear ends thereofiare exact description 01' said invention, reference adapted to be used on either side of the plowbeing had to the accompanying drawings, and frame, being capable of being readily swung to the letters or figures of reference marked under the frame from one side to the other, thereon, which form a part of this speoificaand being held in position on either side by a tion. hook, j, attached to the beam a and hooking My invention, to be hereinafter distinctly into the moldboard or into an eye therein claimed, relates to plows and the mechanism rigid on the under side of the mold'board. for operating them. This plow may be used in the form shown 1 In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is in Fig. 2, with the ordinary clevis, without a view of the plow and mechanism on share a carriage; but I prefer to use therewith and side, one wheel being omitted to show the as a part thereof, for obtaining the full elfiother parts more fully. Fig. 2 is a view of ciency of the plow, the carriage shown in the plow on the land side. Fig. 3 is a rear Figs. 1, 5, and 6. To this end I provide a 2 view of the plow. Fig. 4 is a view of the carriage with two wheels, k k, revolving on front end of the mold-board. Fig. 5 is a rear the ends of a branching or slotted axle, Z, said view of the carriage part of the device, and axle being constructed with a vertically wid- Fig. (i is a top view of the carriage, apart of ened portion between the wheels, in which the axle being omitted to show cross-bar. widened part is a slot, the vertical sides of 25 The sameletters refer to like parts in all the which serve as guides for a verticallynioving views. rod or bar, in, which bar in is provided with The frame of the plow consists of the beam a rigid upwardly-extending arm, a, the lower a, two or more arms or standards, I) and 0, part of which is bit'urcate, forming with the rigid to the beam a and extending downwardly bar in an aperture, 0, adapted to receive and 30 therefrom, the landside (l, rigid to the lower control the front end of the beam a, and the ends of the arms I) and c, and the handles 6 0, upper part of which arm n is screw-threaded rigid to the rear arm, 0, and to the rear end and passes freely through the top part of the ot'thc beam a. The share f is provided on axle Z, and is provided with a nut, p, fitted each edge with a sharp outwardlyextending thereon above and resting on said axle, wherefin,f, adapted especially for cutting sod or by said bar in may be raised or lowered, as S= other tenacious earth.

The clevis 5 mold-board by cleats bolted thereto, or other 8 is bolted and thereby pivoted into a block, '6, equivalent means. The mold-board h is conrigidly affixed to the top of the beam to, and vex on its outside at its front end, as shown in is provided longitudinally with a series of Fig. 4, but to the rear thereof the form changes lateral apertures for the reception of the 50 to concave on the outside. At its rear end the clevis-bolt,whereby the plow may be adjusted IOO nearer to or farther flOIH the carriage, as desired.

Attached to and projecting to the front from the axle is a short tongue, to, terminating at its front extremity in a laterally-expanding fan-shape end provided with a series ofnotches along its front curved segmental face. To attach the whiffletrees to this tongue u, I provide the short removable tongue or coupling pole o, hai ing its ends slotted laterally for the reception at one end of the fanshaped extremity of the tongue at and at the other end for the reception of the evener or double-tree w between the bifurcate ends of said coupling pole. This coupling-pole is pivoted at one end to said tongue and at the other end to said double-tree by suitable bolts through apertures provided thcrefor in said parts respectively. Through said couplingpole vertically, just at the front end of said tongue u, is a slot, in which a key, y, fitting into said slot and into the notches on the front end of the ton; u is placed, and by removing said key and swinging said coupler around to right or left and replacing the key y the line of draft of said plow may be thrown to right or left, thereby increasing or diminishing the width of cut of the plow, as desired.

It is obvious that this plow, while turning over tLe ground to the right in going in one direction, will, by changing the share and moldboard to the other side of the frame, turn the ground over to the left while going in the other direction, thus providing for plowing constantly along the same side ofthe unplowed land and turning the ground away from the unplowed land while the plow travels in either direction.

in tongue at as experience shows to be the proper one to secure the desired width of the cut. cured by raising or lowering the front end of the beam a by turning the nut 19.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In reversible plows, the share and moldboard rigid together, the sharp cutting-fins ff rigid to the share, and the share and mold-board together having an outer surface which on the line of their axis from front to rear laterally is concave near the point of the share, then at and near the line of junction of the share to the mold-board is convex, and at the rear is concave, substantially as described.

2. The plow-beam a, the thereto rigidly affixed block 15, provided with lateral apertures for receiving the clevis-bolt, the clevis 8, attached to the plow-beam through block t, and the hook 1", attached to the axle l and adapted to engage the clevis s, in combination with the carriage axle Z, the tongue at, rigidly affixed to axle Z, provided with notches on its curved segmental front end, the bifurcate coupling-bar n, pivoted at its rear end to the tongue u, and the key 3 fitting into a vertical slot in coupling -bar 1) and into one of the notches in the front end of tongue a, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signatu re in presence of two witnesses.

JACOB STOLL.
